You're in the signal box. Trains run into the station from the north and the south, and you decide which track they stop at. Drag each train with your finger to a track in its colour: the points set themselves and the route lights up. Let the passengers get off and on, send the train on its way and make sure nobody collides. EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER • Drag a train to a track, or tap the train and then the track • Every colour belongs to a group of tracks, with its own symbol: blue domestic, coral international, purple goods and gold for the steam train • Passengers get off and on; big trains stand longer and then depart on their own on the far side • A small clock next to each train shows how many seconds you have left • Local train, double-deck intercity, high-speed train, night train, goods train and steam train WARNINGS, NOT BLOCKS • A route that crosses another train is allowed, at your own risk • Wrong track? The train runs on, but it costs points • A collision, too many wrong tracks or three late trains in a row: end of shift EVERY SHIFT IS DIFFERENT • A non-stop high-speed train races through the station: keep its track clear • The yellow maintenance train closes a track; a detour shows where trains can go instead • Snow with frozen points and animals on the line: tap them clear • Day and night with lit lamps and signals, rain, snow, thunderstorms, wind and fog • Rush hour, longer stops and less room for mistakes in later levels 41 REAL STATIONS, 820 LEVELS From Brussels-South, Antwerp Central and Amsterdam Centraal to Paris Gare du Nord, London St Pancras, Zürich HB, Kyoto, Tokyo, Mumbai and New York Grand Central: 41 stations in 25 countries, each with its flag and a fun fact. Every track plan is an original, simplified design. 20 levels per station, up to 3 stars per level, and a punctuality medal when every train is on time and none takes a wrong track.

Double local trains split after their stop; couple the spare unit to a local train from the other side for bonus points. • New: when you choose a train, each platform shows whether the route is clear or crosses another train. • New: play with a keyboard or game controller. • New: 'Wait for me' holds the game while you choose a track, and 'No time pressure' means trains are never late. • VoiceOver now reads every warning, the points and crossing routes; Voice Control works with the number next to each train ('Tap 4'). • Easier to read: more contrast on all labels, large text wraps instead of shrinking, and lightning is a soft glow. • A tap on the field only acts when you lift your finger. • Menus always open at the top. ### 1.0 — 2026-10-31 No release notes. ## More apps by Nick Vander Borght - [World Air Control](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/world-air-control/id6821710725) - [World Port Control](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/world-port-control/id6823265145) All apps by Nick Vander Borght: https://appshunter.io/developer/6821710727 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
